Ingredients:
Matcha Powder:
1 teaspoon of high-quality matcha powder
Sweetener:
2-3 teaspoons of sugar or your preferred sweetener
Optional: Vanilla syrup for added flavor
Milk:
1 cup of your choice of milk (whole milk, almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk work well)
Water:
1/4 cup hot water (not boiling)
Equipment:
Matcha Bowl or Mug:
For mixing the matcha powder.
Bamboo Whisk (Chasen):
To properly whisk and froth the matcha.
Sifter:
For sifting matcha powder to avoid lumps.
Milk Frother or Steam Wand:
To froth and heat the milk.
Step 1: Prepare Matcha Base
Sift the matcha powder into your matcha bowl or mug to avoid lumps.
Add 1/4 cup of hot water to the matcha powder.
Whisk the matcha vigorously in a "W" or "M" shape motion until it forms a smooth, frothy consistency.
Step 2: Sweeten the Matcha
Add 2-3 teaspoons of sugar to the matcha base. Adjust according to your sweetness preference.
If you prefer a flavored latte, add a pump or two of vanilla syrup and stir.
Step 3: Heat and Froth the Milk
Heat your milk of choice until it's warm but not boiling.
Froth the milk using a milk frother or steam wand until it becomes creamy and has a thick froth on top.
Step 4: Combine and Enjoy
Pour the frothed milk over the sweetened matcha base.
Stir gently to combine the matcha and milk.
Optionally, use the milk frother to add a bit more foam on top.
Sprinkle a little matcha powder on the foam for a finishing touch.
Step 5: Customize (Optional)
Add a drizzle of honey or agave syrup for extra sweetness.
Experiment with different milk alternatives for a unique flavor profile.
Dust the top of your latte with additional matcha powder for a decorative touch.
There you have it—a delightful Starbucks-style Matcha Green Tea Latte made right in your own kitchen.
Experiment with the ratio of matcha to sweetener and milk to find the perfect balance for your taste buds.
Whether you enjoy it warm or over ice, this DIY recipe brings the Starbucks experience to your home. Sip, savor, and revel in the creamy, frothy goodness of your homemade Matcha Green Tea Latte. Cheers
